Some useful gumpf; click on SHOW MORE (just below).
It's scored, as always, using Sibelius 7.5
The piano part was created in Presonus Studio One v3.5 using Hollow Sun's RMI Electrapiano running thru FabFilter EQ & GSi's GS-201 Tape Echo.
The vocals come from the centre channel of the 5.1 DVD mixes and some (very dry) parts are going thru a touch of Valhalla Plate reverb.
Without any other instrumentation, Peter's vocals do sound somewhat exposed here, but I personally feel that this gives a feel for just how expressive & emotive a voice he has.
As per normal for my videos, there's very little in the way of dynamic, expressive, tempi or pedal markings; I find they just get in the way of the notes :)
Listening to the originals and to this version should be enough to guide you as to the way it's intended to sound.
Talking of which, this transcription is actually based on THREE originals!
1) The studio version from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
2) A live version from Genesis Archive 1967-75 (Live '75)
3) The Seconds Out live version
The intro and first verse & chorus are played the same in all 3 versions - except, of course, the intro had been dropped by the time of Seconds Out, but you know what I mean hopefully :)
The differences are in how Tony played the left hand during the choruses from the 2nd chorus onwards (the verses are still the same in each).
The choruses of versions 1 and 2 are almost identical except for the 2nd & 3rd bars (bars 34 & 35 in the PDF) which are swapped.
A VERY minor difference but I personally prefer the Live '75 version and I guess Tony did too so I'm in good company! :)
The chorus of version 3 (Seconds Out) is much simpler; essentially just octave root notes.
Which way you choose to play the choruses is, of course, entirely up to you; I've just included them all here for reference.
In the video, the audio is based on the following for each of the four Verses/Choruses (VC) and the outro (VC5):
VC1 = Verse 1
VC2 = Studio version
VC3 = Live '75
VC4 = Seconds Out
VC5 = Seconds Out
Now for the intro…
The actual notes are the same as in the middle of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway track.
But, they're played in a different style. I've deduced this from the many versions (around a dozen of each) that I have of Carpet Crawl & The Lamb.
Whereas I believe that The Lamb is played in a strict alternate Right Hand, Left Hand (RLRLRLRL) style (see my Lamb Lies Down YT video for an explanation - [ Ссылка ]), it's far more difficult trying to do that with Carpet Crawl because it's played at a much faster tempo. In fact, one version I have from Scotland in 1975 goes at breakneck speed!
I don't know for sure exactly how Tony played it (not having seen any video close-ups) but the way I've notated it seems as good a way as any :)
In the first 4 bars you play every note with the RH except the lowest note (RRRRLRRR).
Then you swap to a sort of cross hands style where you play the first note of each quadruplet using the LH thumb or pinky and the rest of the notes with the right hand (LRRRLRRR).
This explains the 'missing' notes that separate the above two different styles as you need a split-second to adjust your hands! These notes are missing on all the versions I have of Tony playing this piece, so I'm reasonably confident that this may well be how he played it :)
That's it; have fun! :)
